Absolutely. But given that Loganair do not operate any aircraft with more than 50 seats, you would think that if anyone can make a success out of operating these regional jets it would be them.
I do not know whether the new routes to SEN from ABZ and GLA will prove a success, but I do think they have more of chance with the EMB rather than with an ATR72 or other turboprop. BACF don't operate turboprops because it's not who they are or the market they're appealing to.
